Solms Delta

So much more than a wine estate!

National Wine Day.

Not a bad excuse to open something from Franschhoek.

Solms-Delta on the table. Evening, sorted.

27 April. Freedom Day.

Nelson Mandela reminded the world what leadership looks like. From Franschhoek, with respect.

World Viognier Day.

In Amalie 2023 and 2024, it’s not the headline; it’s what makes the blend come alive.

Earth Day, the Solms-Delta way.
Rooted in the land. Reflected in every bottle.

We agree.

South African wine didn’t suddenly improve. It’s just being noticed.

Wines like our Amalie are part of that.

Sent to us by one of our long-time members. Not a bad way to end the night.

Women have always been part of the story of wine — in the vineyard, the cellar, and across the industry shaping its future.

Today we raise a glass to the women helping move South African wine forward. 🍷

Syrah doesn't do subtle.

Rich, dark, spiced — the wine equivalent of a good plot twist.

Happy International Syrah Day. Pour accordingly. 🍷

Year of the Horse.

Momentum. Discipline. Power.

2026 — let it run.

Tim James is spot on!

"Such wineries are not only helping collapse the institution, but, I’d suggest, also failing the wine-drinking community and tourists."

[Solms Delta @solms_delta]

165 years.
One origin.
Global respect.

South African wine didn’t ask for permission — it proved itself. 🍷

New Year. Old Roads.

At Solms-Delta, the future has always been built on what came before.

The land remembers. The road endures. The work continues.

Jamie Goode’s The Science of Tasting Wine is still the clearest thinking on red wine—cause and effect, not romance.

That’s how we build Hiervandaan at Solms-Delta: tannin structure, phenolic balance, and evolution over time—not how it tastes on day one. #redwine #jamiegoode

A Christmas view worth opening a great bottle for. Franschhoek in the glass. Tokyo in lights.

Merry Christmas from Solms-Delta. 🍷🎄

Today, we pause for Reconciliation Day.

South African wine carries a complex past and a shared responsibility. We don't pretend that a single day resolves that. But we do believe in doing the work and building something that reflects the full story of this land and its people.
